After reading Have a New Kid By Friday, and following the plan, our home is nearly stress free. If things start to get stressful again, it's because we have dropped the ball & didn't follow the book. As long as we follow this plan, everything runs SO smoothly. BEWARE though, it does require you to take a long, HONEST look at yourself as a parent. So thankful I ordered it!

Wish I had this book 25 years ago! I have seen results since putting into action the game plan in this book. Has it gotten easier? Not at first, but I have peace! When I get it wrong, I go back and start over. This game plan takes guts, but stick to your guns, don't give in, and you will see results!

I am enjoying the book. I see how I can apply these principles to my life. The author uses humor and common sense in dealing with child. The best part was how he stressed that encouragement is good and praise in the incorrect context is damaging.

I'm a grandparent dealing with a very bright kindergarten-er who doesn't always want to follow his teachers directions...or mine. I haven't finished this book yet but I expect it to help me and his school teacher. I'm seeing improvements from just applying the first two chapters.

We bought this book to find help to deal with a toddler that refuses to accept "no" for an answer. We found the advice to be woefully simplistic and definitely not the "quick-fix" promised on the cover.
As I read further in the book I was shocked when the advice on dealing with cheating started with the claim that everyone has cheated! Seriously? This Christian author believes that every person has cheated in school at some point? I never did and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. It may be common, but it's definitely not universal so downplaying it by saying everyone does it is incredibly unhelpful and a shockingly lax attitude towards academic dishonesty for a supposedly Christian author. I don't expect Christians to be perfect, but I do expect higher standards. It would have been far more helpful for Leman to advise parents to tell their kids that tests are like the height marks on a doorpost - the measurements help you see that you are growing/improving. Parents should focus on instilling a love of learning in their children (and in themselves first, if that's a problem) and help them develop a pride in real accomplishment not just cheating to get a fake mark. I haven't bothered reading the rest of the book since coming across that chapter.
Like others, I'm baffled why this is promoted in Christian bookstores when there are no biblical references or even Christian principles in the book.

What a wonderful tool for new and seasoned parents. For new parents it will be so easy to start right from the start. For us seasoned parents there is some over hauling that needs to be done (on our own attitude). The quick guide in the back is very helpful.

There are typos and mistakes in the e-book that make it difficult to read. Also, in the hard copy book some key sentences are "pulled out" in the margins as highlights, but in the e-book, these are just included in the regular text. You end up reading the same sentence twice which is very irritating and distracting. These should be removed altogether if they cannot appear graphically as they do in the hard copy. I was looking forward to the e-book format, but am disappointed in it. I don't know if I will get another from Christianbook.com. I does not seem as if anyone is reviewing them for how well the hard copy format has transferred to an e-book format.

I bought the book and the CD for my grandchildren and sisters children. It has only been a God send. It does work if you do what the book says to do. You can also use the habits you get from the book in everyday life. Start learning and exampling that is only what our Lord wanted us to do.
